Suunto Movescount App Reviews

The app sporadically displays my updated data even if Ive synched on the computer it routinely does not reflect the latest activity until days later. Ive tried numerous times to synch my watch or change settings on my profile through the app and am met with a message explaining how the app is having trouble connecting to the server and to try later. VERY frustrating especially when traveling and my phone is the only device I have.

Fairly useless and unreliable. Loses connection, little to customize, and offers little connection to any other apps, let alone the watch. Compared to the Fenix 3 not even close - cant easily set time by GPS, activity logging is more primitive, and if you want sports such as surfing or golf, not your watch.

I wish suunto interfaced with google maps in this app (import and export routes option). Now the App shows highways but not biking or running trails. Ir would be great to create (or import from google maps) a route on the Movescount and sync it with the watch. And i dream about a day when Suunto watch can help navigate (give directions) the route.

Have to restart app several times just to get my watch to synchronize activities. I would expect better given the amount of time the Ambit3 has been out and that they intend this app to used for setting up the watch.

Syncing via BT blows. Inconsistent at best. Follow the steps only to be let down with a sync error. The watch itself is friggin rad but connectivity and consistency is miserable. Not impressed, Suunto. I have faith in you all to sort this out. I mean Ive checked the boxes that anonymously uses my efforts to, hopefully, pick apart these ongoing issues.

The best thing about Suunto is their marketing and advertising. So many features on the Ambit3 just do not work as advertised. These people understand how to make functioning software about as much as McDonalds. To release and sell products and services that simply dont work- Is apparently ok in Finland.

Cant get my Spartan Ultra to sync for the last three days. Tried unpairing and repairing. Tried desktop sync. Doesnt work.

The other day I gave this app "1 Star" because of the battery drain on the iPhone. But, after a few days of use, Im going to up my rating to 4 stars. The dramatic battery drain I experienced was mainly associated with syncing the watch. IF, youre going to make a lot of changes to your watch with multiple syncs, make sure your iphone is plugged into a charger. My first experience was without my iphone on the charger and after just a few minutes of use, I was like "Wow!, my battery is down from full to 50% in no time!" The ability to setup watch screens and settings on the iphone is great. I also said "Its not usable on a run.", but that is NOT true. That was just lack of experience on my part. I used movescount as a "second screen" today on a 2 hr 20 min run. In that time my battery went from 100% to 50%. I took several pictures, checked the map, etc with movescount. I also used some other apps on my iPhone (messages, browser, email, etc). When I returned home, I syncd my watch using movescount and the iphone battery went from 50% to 48%. Not too bad. So, after a few days of use, Im much more pleased with the app than my initial impression. Uping my rating to "4 Stars".

Doing a good job with improvements.. one thing I keep hoping to see is showing the watchs battery level in the app!! Maybe have it on the main screen. Just a suggestion.. ☺️

Pool swimming data is not synced correctly through the app. All swim specific data is lost. However this problem is not happened when syncing through usb charging cable. I think its the app problem.

When I say expensively, I mean battery. This app certainly sounds my Traverse, but at the expense of roughly 5% battery life in my iPhone 6S. Thats insane! Plus, the process takes a few minutes, about 5-10X longer than my Garmin 930XT - itself not known for great software. At least the watch aint bad.

Suunto - please fix.

Suunto’s website is often down preventing the download of the data file from the watches. People have been begging for an offline app so at least data can be downloaded offline. They haven’t done this. Now their app proves worthless. It sees my account but will not load any info from the records, only new data gets shown whereas when I first downloaded the app it worked, kind of… data was accessible. Suunto - I really hope you guys take these things seriously… people are not happy. My Garmin cycling computers work flawlessly and after testing, are more accurate for recording. But your watches have the potential to be better - however, your software needs huge improvements.

Hi! So I like the app for the most part, but somewhere along the line they got rid of data that use to be shown. Now it is just a very general, here is what you did! Watch the cool movie! More data showing would be great again.

Im sure this has got to be a great app bc I have friends that use the watch and app, but its just not downloading for me on the iPhone 7. Will give it another chance but the download isnt even working.

This app is so bad that after being a loyal suunto customer for over ten years I am unfortunately switching back to Garmin products. You cannot see your planned moves in this app so you cannot use it with your current training program. That is because Suunto wants you to purchase a watch if you want to use the training programs. Also the app does not work with the Suunto Smart Sensor which is what I bought it for. The heart rate information continually gets dropped.

Data not completely loaded when watch synced using this app. Please Suunto fix this problem.

Sync dont work every time

Love the GPS watch. The app needs an update so it can sync its data to the Apple Health app.

Im still trying to figure out all the updates. I do know that my Ambit 3 Peak is now a smart watch. I also like wireless syncing. Ill update this review as I figure out more.
